HUNKERING DOWN FOR WHILE YET

ICE FORMING ON THE CHANNEL AGAIN...

BUT STRONG WINDS HAVE KEPT IT OPEN
Sunday, 8:30 AM.  14 degrees F at the ferry dock and on the back porch as well.  Wind NNE, light to moderate.  The sky is mostly clear, the barometer steady for now, at 30.56".  The forecast for the coming week is mostly the same weather pattern, but warming some towards the end of next week, and with no significant precipitation.
   It has been so cold that serious ice is forming on the channel again; but the constant winds have kept it from freezing over.  It would never get thick enough anyway to impede the ferry, or a determined fishing trawler, but it has been bitter cold.
   We'll have to hunker down for a while yet, but spring is on its way.
